cardiac electrophysiologist, cyclist, learner

Grand Rounds is up.

Jackie Fox, at her blog Dispatch from Second Base, is the curator of this week’s gathering of medical blog entires. She maintains a nicely written, informative blog that meshes breast cancer, gratitude, humor and life. That’s a full pot of soup, for sure.

Medical grand rounds doesn’t always have a theme, but this week it does. And for me, at this contempletative time of life, Jackie has chosen an especially cool topic to reflect on: “meaning,” what gives your work (or life) meaning.

You bet, this week I contributed a post, and am very grateful that it was included with kind words attached.

Jackie did a great job of organizing, and I just love her heart-healthy, warm prose.
